Community Table Training Series

The Coalition for the Homeless is proud to partner with Anthem Medicaid to offer The Community Table, a comprehensive training series for case managers and others working with our neighbors facing homelessness and housing insecurity.

The Community Table is about to enter its third year of training sessions. Since its launch in 2022, over two dozen training sessions have reached 1,000 attendees at no charge. Sessions continue to be led by experts in their fields who present through a trauma-informed, racial equity lens. The Community Table has been invaluable in adding convenience and value for our committed frontline workers across the entire state of Kentucky.
